%PDF-1.6 Two experiments tested an intentional approach to the Simon effect that assigns a critical role to the cognitively represented action goal (i. e., the intended action effect). Adjust Bull 1985; 18: 108-112. First, common UE impairments and how to assess them are briefly discussed. The aim of the present study was to focus on the main environmental factors affecting motor development. Physical fitness was associated with the interaction age by LTPA in only a few components, in a gender-specific way, with generally larger differences in fitness between active and less active persons with increasing age. The Minnesota Rate of Manipulation Test: a reliability test among psychiatric clients in a sheltered workshop. development, due to the large amount of time children /Linearized 1 of the Simon effect depends on stimulus-goal correspondence, that is, that responses are faster with spatial correspondence of stimulus and intended action effect. << /S 199 /Length 133 To study the influence of functional electric stimulation (FES) on grip acquisition and on the change of grip processing speed, 38 hemiplegic patients took part in the rehabilitation program of the Division of Rehabilitation Medicine of the Hospital das Clinicas, School of Medicine, University of Sao Paulo. There is a high correlation (0.85 to 0.95) between the MMDT and the MMRT in spite at different results. /Size 348 The predictability of rhythmic variation in pain, stiffness, and dexterity has implications for scheduling activities of daily living and for timing antirheumatic drug treatment. A cross-cultural study was conducted to evaluate the effects of cultural background and the interaction between cultural background and education on neurobehavioral tests in Asian populations. This study examined the performance outcomes between two tests of manual dexterity, the Minnesota Rate of Manipulation Test [1] and the Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test (1981). The magnitude of event-related activation for task switching was similar for younger adults (n=20; 18-27years) and older adults (n=20; 60-85years), although activation sustained throughout the on-tasks periods exhibited some age-related decline. Assessment of hand function and prehension patterns is needed in order to determine specific treatment approaches. Physical and mental correlates of dependent living were determined in 128 Catholic sisters (nuns), aged 75 to 94 years, who had similar social support systems and lifestyles. present study was to focus on the main environmental Desai K, Kene K, Doshi M, et al. Grip strength was greater in men. Repeatability of grip strength and dexterity tests and the effects of age and gender. A second search was performed to obtain information on their content and psychometrics.
